Morning Star Japanese Incense Sticks 200 Sticks & Holder (Frankincense)

All Morning Star incense sticks are great.

These are very pleasant and don’t have the nasty wooden core.

Great smells, burns clean. One of the best incense around. Recommend

First time buying these incense sticks , the price seemed good for the amount of sticks initially when I read the discription and quite a lot of reviews were positive. However when I got my delivery / my item and open the parcel I was a bit surprised at the size of the box. So yes there's quite a few sticks in there but they are half the size of a regular sized incent stick. It comes with a small ceramic squire holder , it's quite quite small. The smell / aroma/ scent is pleasant , but faint for me , not quite as strong as I would prefer this particular scent to be , it was Frankensance that I chose . The burning time / longevity is I think average , it doesn't burn super quick and it doesn't burn for a long time , also taking into account it's half the size of a regular incense stick . They are fair enough these , the box is pretty and reasonably strong too, However for me , for the price and the aroma not being stronger as to my preference and being half the size of a standard incense stick , I don't feel I will be buying these again. I still have quite a few left and I will use them up , but yeah I won't be buying these again , in terms of incense sticks these would not be my first choice and some may really like these and that's great 😃, but personally I can't say I would recommend them. Hope you enjoy them though. Happy New year All x

Burns very light and not overly powering. Perfect for a meditation.

Prodotto arrivato tutto danneggiato e la confezione non era la sua

Ive been buying this for many many years. Smells great, also great for the bathroom!

Very good experience

This is hands down my favorite incense. I use several sticks a day for Zazen and shrine offerings. This incense is NOT Frankincense (in fact there is no detectable scent of Frankincense). Instead, this appears to be a lighter Japanese version of Indian stick incense (Dhoop- sometimes sold in the U.S. under the brand name- Nag Champa), which I imagine might explain the weird choice in naming this incense (Dhoop usually has some frankincense in it). The actual scent carries notes of cedar, cinnamon, and driftwood. Comparing Dhoop with this, Morningstar "Frankincense" is less sweet, less smoky and much lighter. Perfect for those who don't want to be choking while they meditate! The sticks are traditional for Zen, and will last 25-30 minutes- this is a feature, not an error. These kinds of sticks are used in lieu of clocks in a Zendo for timing meditation periods.
